System and method for monitoring and managing data center resources in real time incorporating manageability subsystem
First Claim
1. A method for forming a distributed data store using a remote access appliance associated with a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system, the method comprising:
- generating data associated with operation of a managed device being monitored by the DCIM system;
using at least one remote access appliance to receive the data;
using an element library framework disposed in the remote access appliance to generate events from the data, and also using the remote access appliance to implement a complex event processing subsystem to analyze the events and to generate event related signals therefrom;
using a bus to transmit the event related signals from the appliance to a common platform services (CPS) subsystem of the DCIM system;
using the CPS subsystem to receive and use the event related signals to inform a user of an aspect of performance of the managed device;
using an event exporter service included in a processor of the remote access appliance to form first and second channels for exporting the event related signals, andwherein the first channel is used for ones of the events detected as having a first priority level, and the second channel is used for ones of the events detected as having a second priority level different from the first priority level; and
wherein the data received by the element library framework comprises data points, and wherein the element library framework generates at least one of a new event or a new data point based on an analysis of one or more of the data points, in comparison to a user selected change of value (COV).

Abstract
A method is disclosed for forming a distributed data store using a remote access appliance associated with a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system. Data may be generated which is associated with operation of managed device being monitored by the DCIM system. At least one remote access appliance may be used to receive the data. An element library framework may be used by the remote access appliance to generate events from the data. The remote access appliance may also be used to implement a complex event processing subsystem to analyze the events and to generate event related signals therefrom. A bus may be used to transmit the event related signals from the appliance to a common platform services (CPS) subsystem of the DCIM system. The CPS subsystem may be used to receive the event related signals and to use the event related signals to inform the user of an aspect of performance of the managed device.

12. A method for delivering events associated with a managed device being monitored by a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system, the method comprising:
-
using an element library framework disposed in a remote access appliance to generate events from data concerning an operation of the managed device; using a service bus proxy subsystem to receive both high priority and low priority events, via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) transmission, on different channels from a remote access appliance associated with the DCIM system; assigning one of the channels as a high priority event channel and another of the channels as non-high priority event channel; and using an event delivery network to; form two separate messaging queues for receiving the events from each of the different channels and transmitting the high priority events and the non-high priority events to separate storage subsystems; simultaneously publish at least one of the high priority events and the non-high priority events to at least one of an event viewer and an alarm process; and wherein the data received by the element library framework comprises data points, and wherein the element library framework generates at least one of a new event or a new data point based on an analysis of one or more of the data points, in comparison to a user selected change of value (COV). - View Dependent Claims (14)
